Lots...Perhaps you should start off in understanding your problem by learning about sockets: http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/sockets/ Sockets are a generalized method for passing data between programs on the same or different computers. > > I dont know if i wrote it understandably but maybe picture will explain > it: > > |------------| > | python | > | | <- module in python -> <- connection ("???") -> <-gui in > any language (java, c++, python, etc). > | server | > |-----------| > what could I use as "???"? http? mqseries? webservices? what are the > possibilites? http, webservices, xmlrpc, corba, people to type in messages between programs, carrier pigeons, and sockets are all possibilities. I'm gonna recommend that you learn sockets, because they're a general solution to this problem, and many methods of inter-program communication are based on sockets, but I don't know the specifics of the program you're designing. How tightly will the client and server interact? In what environment (ie over the internet, over a corporate LAN, on the same computer, on Internet2)? Is there any framework in existance, or is this program being written from scratch? Peace Bill Mill bill.mill at gmail.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
